Evolution is not linear as paleontologist Stephen
Gould often reminded us; shit happens. The very
different paths that brought these two musicians
together is as intriguing as the music they
make.
An American bassist/singer from NYC living in
Montreal meets a Spanish guitarist from Barcelona
in Frankfurt. Worlds collide and the result
is a kind of jazz; a strange blend of American
and Spanish idioms purified into an organic
mix reminiscent of Gilberto/Jobim. Super simple
and super sophisticated. Yes, they have a checkered
past: Moncho,
Dyango, Armando Manzanero,
Olga Guillot and PM's Gong, Mike Oldfield,
Allan Holdsworth, John Martyn,
Biréli Lagrène,David
Fiuczynski, Gary Husband and
Gongzilla. But it has all led
to this moment... and this record. Love's Appeal.
Set for release October 11th, 2011.
The
Paris/Montreal recordings by Denis
Savage (Celine Dion) sound so good you'd
think heart strings were nylon.
